New experience

During these holidays, I have done a lot of things, and one of these things has been driving in a car, first time ever!
It all started when I told my dad if he could let me drive around, so he said; yeah why not? So he took me to a dirt road where the was no cars, perfect to learn some driving. I have to say I had no idea how to drive, so just getting in the car I nearly crashed twice!
My dad was so scared because I wasn’t going slowly, I had already started of quickly and he started saying to me to go slower, so I did, it was boring!
Anyway, he taught me how to change gear, to put de clutch down when I’m stopping, to never take my hands of the steering wheel, how to reverse and not kill anyone while I’m doing it!

It took me time to actually get used to it, everything is just so delicate, I thought I just had to put the foot down hard and that it would just go with no problem, anyway that was a good experience for me and my dad thought that he was going to die in that car…

I wasn’t really that bad, I was quite good, he just likes to make a big deal out of everything!
I want to ask him if he wants to drive with me again… I don’t think he really wants to now!

Results

Yeah, it’s the end of the trimester and I have failed three subjects; maths, chemistry and philosophy!
Yeah, I know that’s doesn’t look like very good results, but I’m pretty happy with my results, I know I shouldn’t but I am. That just means that this trimester I’ve got to work a bit harder on the subjects that I've ve failed. I think that maths and chemistry I will be able to pass them, but I’m a bit lost with philosophy, no matter what, that’s a subject I think that I will fail all year round but I’ll try to pass it too…

The reason of me being happy about my results is because of many things. First, I come from a class that the level of studying and working is lower than the other classes, and all of my classmates from last year aren’t doing that good, they have failed six, seven or more subjects. So that means that I'm actually doing quite well, because I’ve only failed three.
I’m also happy of my results because I know that I have worked very hard to have those results and know one is going to tell me what they think because I don’t really care, I know that I’ve worked so much for it, my dream would be to be able to pass College to do something in the future that I want to do, hopefully I will be able to do it.
Anyway I have got a lot of support from people that love me, like my family, friends and my girlfriend!

So I wish myself some good luck for this year!

My life

Sometimes life can be very complicated, even more at are age. I think that this is one of the most important times of our lives.
This stage of our life I think that I does really mark what we will be in a future, it all depends of your studies and that people that surround you.

At the moment, I’m studying in College and that is one of the hardest things I think that I have ever had to do, especially because I’m actually from a lower level of class, but teachers seem to be pleased.
Then it’s hard to combine spending time with your friends and then also with your girlfriend if you have one, luckily for me I can go out with my friends and my girlfriend at the same time!
Apart form all of this I do handball just to keep me fit and have time to think about stuff that’s going on in my head.
And now I’ll have to start to practice for my driving license and luckily soon I’ll have it.

All of this brings me a bit of stress, but if I’m lucky I will keep on going as the way it is, anyway everybody needs a bit of stress because otherwise we wouldn’t do anything, so I think that all of this is good even isf at the moment it doesn’t look like it!

Presents!

Lately as the years go by, my list of presents keep on getting smaller and smaller, this year I didn’t even want anything because I don’t feel the need of them.
I’ve realized that I have already got everything I really need and that I am already happy with the things I have got.
Years ago I used to have a huge list of presents; I used to want everything I used to see on TV or see at shops.
I think it happens to everybody, as we gradually get older the less presents they want but maybe that only one present counts as five presents because it’s a lot more expensive that the others. It’s bigger in a sense of the price.
So when your just a child I think that you want a lot of presents but their price aren’t that important but as we get older we want less presents, but what we want is a lot more expensive.
This year I said that I didn’t want anything but I did get something, only a couple of presents but they where very nice indeed, presents that you know that this people have looked really hard for it and thought about it a lot and that they haven’t just bought it in five minutes.

Pastic or Natural?

Instead of asking mom and dad for a new car, young women are asking their parents for breast implants or a nose job. It has taken over television and is rapidly disturbing our society. If you Type the words plastic surgery you’ll celebrities who have had plastic surgery and it went bad. The site contains pictures of many big celebrities who have had cosmetic operations. Young people around the nation are modelling themselves after these celebrities. They think it is no longer attractive to have a flat chest or a little bit of fat on their stomach.

People need to learn they should be happy as their self. Everyone is born a certain way for a reason. There is no need to ever model yourself after a Hollywood star because you think that will make you more attractive. In my opinion, that is much less attractive.Some people get plastic surgery for other reasons. Reconstructive plastic surgery is needed for some individuals to correct problems. This kind of surgery is completely different than a breast augmentation or tummy tuck.

I think people need to learn to accept their body. You need not model yourself after a famous movie star or model. Be happy with what you have, instead of stressing over what you do not have. All of the shows on television right now are doing nothing but encouraging this behaviour in the young people out there watching.
